Love Tennis and Yumiko Miura

Zhixian didn't follow. He didn't know if it was his illusion. Four of the five people were very close to each other, while the other one was standing at a distance from his companion, as if they were clearly separated.

"What's wrong, Zhixian?" Youmiko noticed the change in Zhixian's expression and asked.

"Nothing, probably an illusion."

"Really?" Youmiko didn't ask any more questions. She knew Zhixian had his own ideas.

Ye Shan looked at the situation in front of him - it turned out that there was a snake in the woods, so the little girls were so scared that they didn't dare to move.

"It's okay, it's just a Japanese rat snake, it's not venomous."

"Wow! Onii-chan is already in college!" The four little girls surrounded Ye Shan and cheered.

The other little girl in a dress with a camera around her neck, who had been standing some distance away from them, did not join them, nor did she speak to Ye Shan.

...I was indeed being excluded. Zhixian now felt that his first feeling was correct.

Although they are only primary school students, the bad trends among students have already begun to emerge. Especially since primary school students are not mature enough and treat others based on their own likes and dislikes, it is not impossible that such behavior of excluding someone will occur.

However, although Zhixian made a judgment, he remained indifferent. He felt that Ye Shan must have noticed this, so he did not intend to do anything. The key to integrating into the group still lies in the individual.

Looking at the lonely girl, Yukinoshita sighed.

Just like a Stand User attracts a Stand User, a lone person is more likely to discover another lone person.

"Big brother, where is the checkpoint?" After Ye Shan drove away the snake, several little girls began to ask Ye Shan for help.

"Where is it?" Ye Shan deliberately kept the question in suspense.

"Let's look for it together?" a little girl suggested.

"I'll help you just this once!" Ye Shan raised a finger to his lips, "But you have to keep it a secret from the others, okay?"

Just as Ye Shan led a few people to continue moving forward to look for the checkpoint, the lonely little girl was hanging at the end of the team, holding a camera in her hand with her head down, wondering what she was thinking.

Afterwards, several high school students dispersed in groups of three or four to observe whether there were any problems with other elementary school students, while Zhixian stayed near Ye Shan.

"So Zhixian has discovered something, right?" Youyouko was naturally following Zhixian. Seeing that Zhixian was always following this group, she couldn't help but ask again.

"I did find some discordant factors, so I want to see how Ye Shan will solve it."

"Is that so..." Yumiko hesitated for a moment and didn't ask any further. She felt that it was rare that Zhixian wanted to stay with Ye Shan, and it might be an opportunity for the two to improve their relationship, so she didn't say much.

After all, it would be difficult for her if her two friends didn't get along - she, Yuigahama Yukinoshita and the other two had experienced this feeling once, and it was really a terrible experience.

But she really felt that she couldn't get along well with Yukinoshita. This was probably what they called "water and fire are incompatible."

On the other side, Ye Shan also asked the girl's name very naturally, and brought her back to the group naturally. Everything seemed natural and unintentional.

However, the effect was basically negligible. The girl named Tsurumi Rumi was still alone, with no one to pay attention to her. Even standing in the crowd, she could only fiddle with her camera out of boredom.

I brought a camera, but there was no one to take a photo with.

Zhixian shook his head. He could understand Ye Shan's intention, but this method was obviously not effective enough. Although it did not seem deliberate, the shrewd elementary school students would not compromise because of this. Instead, they might become more hostile to her because of Ye Shan's care for Liumei.

Kids nowadays are such trouble, Zhixian sighed.

79. Camping

When it comes to camping, curry is the most popular dish, so we decided to have curry for lunch.

One good thing about curry is that it is not picky about ingredients. Most ingredients can be said to be ingredients for curry - even fried noodles - of course, this kind of curry will become neither real nor fake, but as long as it tastes good, the ingredients are not a problem at all.

Maybe the kids next door are crying out for curry too.

However, due to the large number of elementary school students participating in the summer camp, it was impossible for Zhixian and the staff to prepare all the lunches. Therefore, it was decided that the elementary school students would also prepare their own lunches - in fact, the ingredients were already prepared, and the rest just needed to be cooked.

As the saying goes, if you work hard, you will have enough food and clothing.

The one who demonstrated how to light charcoal fire to the elementary school students was the people's teacher (the big devil). Faced with the pillar of fire that suddenly shot up in an instant, Mr. Hiratsuka did not move at all, allowing the flame to sway in front of him. After it stabilized, he even held a lady's cigarette in his mouth and lit it, then blew out a puff of smoke rings.

The skillfulness of her movements and the calmness of her mentality are breathtaking, and the final action of lighting a cigarette is the icing on the cake. She is so cool that she has no boyfriend.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who recalled her tragic college past by lighting the fire, announced that men and women would do different jobs separately. The boys would light the fire while the girls would get the ingredients, completely ignoring the saying that working together would make things less tiring.

...But it does make sense. It's better for boys to do jobs like making fire.

The five boys worked together to light the fire.

Hikigaya fanned himself with a round fan, as if he was grilling eel. It would have been even more impressive if he had worn white clothes.

Because Hikigaya looked very hot as he fanned himself over the charcoal fire, Totsuka suggested going to get drinks for everyone, and Tobe followed him. It was a bit of a stretch for one person to get drinks for several people.

No matter how cool the mountains are, it's easy to sweat profusely when exercising by a fire.

Then the two who were talking left, leaving Chixian, Hayama and Hikigaya staring at the charcoal fire in silence.

Because there was only one round fan, Hikigaya was fanning himself while Chigen and Hayama were watching.

Hikigaya fanned and fanned, and the black charcoal slowly began to develop red patterns and the temperature rose higher and higher.

Just when the sweat from Hikigaya's intense heat and the heat was about to flow into his eyes, Zhixian spoke.

"Let me take your turn."

Hikigaya did not refuse. He took off his gloves and handed them to Zhixian.

However, Zhixian took the gloves but did not put them on immediately. Instead, he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and threw them to Hikigaya. Then he put on the gloves, picked up the fan and continued fanning himself.

"Thank you." Hikigaya whispered his thanks, his voice was low but loud enough for Zhixian to hear.

Then Hikigaya and Hayama's eyes met.

"what happened?"

"fine."

So they looked at each other in silence.

During this time, Hayama was helpless because of Hikigaya's gaze, so he sighed and was about to speak, but at this time, Totsuka Tobe returned with a cold drink.

The result was nothing, but Zhixian didn't particularly care what Ye Shan wanted to say.

Soon all the girls returned and couldn't help but praise Zhixian who was fanning herself by the charcoal fire.

"Ah! As expected of Zhixian!"

"I didn't expect that Tachibana-san is so skilled at making fire!" Ebina was also a little surprised.

"Hikigaya was the one who did it before, I just followed his lead."

After the fire was lit, the next step was to prepare the ingredients - the girls had already brought in large baskets of ingredients.

Not far from the fire is the cooking area, where there are kitchen utensils and cutting boards.

The ingredients are relatively common: pork belly, carrots, onions, potatoes, etc., and they are not difficult to prepare.

It is quite suitable for a picnic for sixth grade elementary school students.

Considering whether they were proficient in using kitchen knives, the high school students were divided into two groups, one to peel the skin and the other to cut into pieces.

Zhixian naturally occupied a chopping board, while Youmiko stood beside him, peeling potatoes and carrots with a peeler and then handed them to Zhixian to cut into pieces.

Although the taste of his cooking was not particularly worth boasting about, Zhixian felt that his knife skills were still okay, and this was also agreed by Nozaki.

"I didn't notice it before. Zhixian, this can't be described as ordinary, right?" Youmeko was surprised by Zhixian's superb knife skills. Under his knife, the potatoes and carrots were turned into pieces as if by magic, and the size and shape were basically the same.

"It should be higher than the average, right?" Zhixian's tone was a little uncertain. After all, apart from the cooking shows on TV, he had hardly seen what other people's cut vegetables looked like.

"Isn't your average the average of an average housewife and a master chef?" Yumiko couldn't help but grumble. This level is definitely above average, right? At least it's better than Mrs. Miura's knife skills.

"Youyouko, you are exaggerating. It's just cutting vegetables, not cooking." Zhixian did not feel complacent. Instead, he would occasionally feel depressed because the dishes he cooked were far from Nozaki's.

Zhixian thought about it seriously and realized that the person he knew, Rinozaki, was actually the one with the highest femininity.

Nozaki is such a strong person. Not only is he a girl cartoonist, but he is also a master at housework.

It's a pity that the EQ is so low.

"Zhixian is too modest. Many girls nowadays have never touched kitchen utensils, let alone cooking." In fact, Youmiko herself can't cook at all, but she said this without feeling guilty at all.

It didn't take long to wash the rice and prepare the ingredients. Next, we needed to stir-fry the meat and vegetables in the pot.

Pour water into a pot and when it boils, crush the spices into a paste.

"Youyouko, please step back." Zhixian said to Youyouko, who was not wearing an apron, to avoid splashing water on her clothes.

At this time, Ebina came over with vegetables and said something unknown, but was hit on the head by Yumiko with a knife. It was just like the feeling of being hit on the head with a paper fan by the person who was making fun of him in a manzai performance.

This kind of scene is not uncommon. Zhixian has become accustomed to the fixed routine of Ebina being hit on the head by Yumiko when he makes BL remarks. He is no longer surprised by it and doesn't care about it anymore.

In fact, Yumiko only knocked her head because no one paid attention to Ebina's speech, otherwise Ebina would definitely be in a state of silence. From this point of view, Yumiko is actually very gentle, but she just appears a little too strong on the outside.

The so-called "Queen of Fire" is not just someone with a hot temper. People who are not familiar with her will only define her based on their own shallow understanding.

Zhixian glanced at the blonde girl playing with Ebina, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

80. The person you like

"If you have nothing else to do, just go around and help out." The people's teacher (the big devil) said, with a hint of "I'll just leave it to myself."

Ye Shan Hu Bei actually agreed with this point. After all, there were not many opportunities to talk to elementary school students.

"I'll take care of the pot..." Hikigaya, who didn't want to deal with elementary school students, quickly expressed his opinion to avoid being overtaken by others.

"Don't worry, Hikigaya, I'll take care of it." Shizuka Hiratsuka stopped Hikigaya.

Just kidding, I'm just saying this to keep you, a bunch of annoying young adults, away from me! You, Hikigaya, a typical light novel hero with a sister, a house, and busy parents, don't even think about staying here!

In contrast to Hikigaya, Hayama was quite proactive and took the lead in greeting the nearest group.

The elementary school students were also very welcoming to these older high school students, and enthusiastically invited them to taste the food - even though the curry was not cooked at all.

However, cooking by themselves is a very novel experience for most primary school students, so they will be very dedicated to trying it. After all, their parents at home will most likely not let them help in the kitchen.

Zhixian followed Youyouko to help several groups process the ingredients. The result of letting the elementary school students process the ingredients themselves was that the potatoes and carrots looked terrible, as if they had been stepped on in the field.

Zhixian naturally showed off his superb knife skills in front of the elementary school students. After processing, the potatoes and carrots were well-shaped, which made them easier to cook when put into the pot. It would be troublesome to eat if the pieces were too large.

"Big brother is so awesome!" The elementary school girl's eyes were full of stars. Although she was attracted by the sunny, handsome and approachable Ye Shan at first, she now found that this big brother who looked aloof and taciturn was also very handsome.

Not only is his knife skills first-class, but his work is also clean and neat without any delay. He seems much more mature than his peers.

Wearing the hat backwards is also very cool and stylish. (After reaching a cooler place, Yumiko returned the hat to Zhixian.)

"Hey, big brother, do you have a girlfriend?" the little girl asked.

"No." Zhixian helped pour the ingredients on the chopping board into the pot.

"Big brother, do you have someone you like now?" the little girl asked again.

"Well... guess?" Zhixian, contrary to his usual behavior, teased the little girl with great interest.

"Since big brother wants me to guess, then I will guess no. Then big brother can also guess if I have someone I like!" The little girl smiled sweetly at Zhixian, and finally blinked deliberately.

Youmiko wanted to stop him, but Zhixian stopped her. He signaled her not to speak and listen to what he had to say.

"Then I guess there is." Zhixian said.

"Ah! Big brother is so smart!" The little girl clapped her hands happily, "Big brother, can you guess who it is?" When she said this, she was already a little embarrassed, clutching the corner of her clothes with her hands and lowering her eyes.

"Wow! Are all the elementary school students nowadays so strong?" Yumiko suppressed her shock and remained silent. She felt that her worldview had been greatly shaken.

This girl will definitely become something great in the future! She's only in elementary school, but she's already got a crush on a high school student. Isn't that a bit too much of a personality?

She was very familiar with the little girl's pretending to be shy. Don't think about how many girls Miura Yumiko had met. She understood this kind of mentality very well.

"Of course I know who it is." Zhixian said this under the shy and expectant gaze of the little girl.

So the little girl became even more excited, and her big watery eyes kept blinking as she looked at Zhixian, who was much taller than her.

At this point, Youmiko also sensed something was amiss. There was no way Zhixian would jump into such an obvious trap, right? He wasn't some idiot like Hubu.

"You must like your parents, right?" Zhixian smiled and patted the girl's head, then left with Youmeko after saying, "You guys take care of the pot."

The little girl was left speechless and stunned. To add an adjective, she was disheveled.

......

After leaving the kitchen, Yumiko finally couldn't help but hold her stomach and laughed.

"You are too mean, Zhixian, hahahahahaha!"

Absolutely! The people he likes are his parents! Absolutely nothing! What normal child would say that he doesn’t like his parents?

Zhixian's answer immediately blocked the little girl's reaction. She had nothing to say in defense, and Zhixian left before she could react.

"Primary school students nowadays are quite smart, so a little joke is harmless." Zhixian shrugged. "The kids in my group can all testify that we were just playing a game of guessing if the other person liked someone, and I just guessed that the person she liked was her parents."
